Technical Problems - Streaming Malfunctions

Forums

If the Tapers' Section or Grateful Dead Hour streams (or any other streams that may appear from time to time) aren't working for you, please post here. In some cases, your fellow Heads will come to your assistance. In others, the Rhino techs may have a fix for the problem. In others, we may have a can't-get-there-from-here issue, but really, we'll do our best. Thanks!

Take It Easy

Sorry marye, my sarcasm knows no bounds, but your inference wasn't what I was trying to say. I should have said, my internet connection uses 250 mics, gets an unlimited bandwidth and doesn't need a computer.I do think the complaints about the streams of the TS shows revolve around (and around) exactly what you described but I can't say for anyone but myself. It's no big deal, to me. "I've had a hard night and I hate the f'ing Eagles..."

sorry, GRTUD

that wasn't directed at you so much as at trying to narrow this problem down, as Jonathan swears it should be stereo. I figure the better we can define the problem the likelier it is to get solved. That's all. Muddling along here...

Sans Souci

Your the best, marye. "You know what the trouble about real life is? There's no danger music."

wow

not to be sarcastistic,,, i said it before,, i can`t even hear any of the TS since January of this year.. i can hear the GD hour with no probleme,,.... Strange you all hear it in mono ..?? Take care everyone , hope all your problemes get resolved for you ,,.. Maybe i can get mine figured out soon..lol that would be cool .. Peace all .........

Definitely mono

OK - to clarify, its definitely not a case of only hearing one channel (i.e. only get a signal in one speaker/headphone). I am hearing a mono reduction of a stereo signal. If I put on my headphones I hear the music in the "centre". I can hear all the instruments (even though it's a little crowded) - the signal is not a stereo signal though. Completely, unmistakably, undeniably mono.

Definitely mono, two

Definitely mono, two channels collapsed into one, same signal on both sides. Can it be an issue with the Quicktime player?

beats me

but this does seem to narrow the focus a bit, so I will pass this on right now.

Stereo costs extra...

Back in the day when stereo albums first became available, the stereo version cost $1.00 more than the same record in mono. I know this isn't relevant here, but it reminded me of another time's forgotten space...And we sometimes had to walk through 4 feet of snow...

Backwards...

buddy plant, AND uphill. Hahahaha. "You know what the trouble about real life is? There's no danger music."

flash player

My bad, it's a Flash Player, not Quicktime. I get other Flash stuff in stereo, so I don't think it's the Flash Player, but who knows.

attention viners

the flac,shm and other formats are not recognizable to our computers..and i forgot exactly what vines i am on ,,.. so whatever vines i am on that are not in regular audio format ,, please remove me from those vines .. unless someone has an easy way to do this .. please let me know .. Thank you .. Have a nice day everyone !! Stu ...

Hey co viners

With much thanx to Hal i got this whole flac/shn figured out ... Yea !! it`s amazing what a phone call can do ... Hal is the man !!

Cant stream

Hi! I cannot stream the archival GD Hours. I hear about ten seconds worth and it cuts out. On the other hand I have no problem streaming the Tapers Section goodies. Whats up?

pomo

Please, a link to one of the gdhours that's giving you trouble. Thanks!

Oh well

Never mind Mary, I can listen to them both on my home computer. It is only at work that I cant seem to stream the GD hours. Serves me right, I should concentrate on work at the office!!!!

Taper Section in mono

Hello, I too am only getting the Taper Section in mono ever since they switched to flvplayer. Any ideas how I can get this in stereo? Thanks.

my wife got it to work !!

Finally ,, after months of screwin around ,, somehow my wife got the flyplayer to play ,, YEA !! I`m not sure what she did but it had something to do with the sounds default thing from the control pannel .. check your sounds default player in your computer ,, hope this helps everyone who are still having problems ... peace and sunshine to all !!! take care !! .... p.s. yes,, it is playing in stereo ....

Stereo!

I'm getting this week and last weeks Taper's Sections in stereo! Praise be! Thanks to whoever did whatever needed to happen somewhere out there.

Thanks marye

I'm getting all the Taper's Section stuff in stereo now. Hurray. Now all we need is the previous six months' clips to be reloaded in stereo. Easier said than done... Thanks for pursuing this marye. I'm not listening to the Taper's Section stuff again for the first time in months!!

Grateful Dead Hour doesn't stream

Ever since I went to Firefox 6.0, I've been unable to stream Grateful Dead Hour, although the flypaper stuff (jam of the week and taper's section) works fine. I've got the latest quicktime and windows media players, but it doesn't work. Anyone have any ideas? Steve Premo -- Santa Cruz, California

no, but I gotta say

this encourages me to ignore that Upgrade Firefox Now message... I'll see if the tech guys have any thoughts.

No Jam of the Week on 8/26?

C'mon guys, where is the jam? We're trying to rock out!

Dead Hour streaming again

Somebody must have fixed it, 'cause it works fine now with Firefox 6.0. Thanks! Steve Premo -- Santa Cruz, California

chatroll

the chat site is totally not working, so im sorting the sock drawer today.

looks like you got back okay...

I think it's working now.

Chat working?

I can't get into the Chat. I am logged in, but when I select "Chat" under my avatar, it comes up with a page saying that I must be logged in. I click the icon where my avatar was, and I go back to the home page with my avatar. I think I'm considered logged in everywhere except chat.

Peace,

-Dave

Grateful Dead hour for Feb…

Grateful Dead hour for Feb. 12, 2020 is not streaming. Thank you Marye.

This week's also not streaming

The G.D. Hour from 2-19-2020 is also not streaming. The one from two weeks ago is working fine though.
Thank you Marye.

I'll look into it!

Thanks!

so, the one that's playing on the homepage

when you click the Listen button, is that the correct one?

This week's also not streaming

Sorry, this week's is working fine now but last weeks still won't play. Jones'n for that '77 show. Much appreciated M.

Streams not working

For close to a week now, Jam of the week won't play as well as others. If I click "Listen Now" button, the player displays but nothing plays. If I click "Jam of the Week" button and then "Listen Now" on the next page, a separate window pops up with the player but nothing plays. Have not had problems in the past. Win10pro v1903 with latest updates, Chrome v80.

And today it's working. Any clues?

Seems to be working today. If you did something, thanks.

Not completely

A little premature in my last comment. The "Listen Now" button on the home page is working but the "Listen Now" link on the Jam of the Week page which opens a separate player window is not working.

Must have been on my end.

Pop up blockers on Chrome may have been keeping things from playing. Everything fine on the old browser. Sorry for the technical ineptitude.

Only GD Hour streams pages 1-15 working p16 onwards do not work

First visit here. Wanted to hear some old GDH I listened to on WNEW back in 1989. Page 16 has a couple I'd like to hear again. I taped many of the shows in 1988-89.

Grateful Dead Hour streams play fine but only shows from the first 15 pages in the listing. There is a clear cutoff with the last GDH on page 15 playing and the previous GDH top of page 16 and all the rest to page 100 or so won't play at all although the jplayer does pop up. Thank you Marye for offering to help. Could be a Rhino tech glitch with this simple cutoff of older postings of GDH. My sense of this is that Dead.net intended all of the streams to work as Marye alludes to.

Okay, guys

I'm a bozo here, but hey, it's the weekend so for the moment I'm what you've got. To refine the focus a bit more. Take the Playing in the Band clip. Are we talking, you're only getting one channel, or, you're getting two but they're identical? I just listened to it with the headphones, and I could be persuaded of the latter, but I'm definitely getting two channels. I've got an old-school 384kbps SDSL. And 2.0.0.12 on a G4 ibook. In short, say more about the symptoms here. And like I say, this is not my field, so bear with me!
